In times today, when life in the city is taking a toll
on almost everybody, places like Goa offers a pleasant
respite. The peaceful waters tranquilize the body and
mind as one feels the soothing breeze and rippling waves
pass you by. If you are a nature lover, and beauty of
ancestral architecture still holds the capacity to leave
you spell bound, then Goa is definitely the place for
you to be in.
Resting on the slopes of the Western Ghats, Goa is
surrounded by Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra in
North, by Belgaum on East, Karwar Districts of Karnataka
on South and Arabian Sea on the West. The rivers Tiracol,
Chapora, Mandovi, Zuari, Sal and Talpona flow through
Goa to finally merge with the Arabian Sea, breaking
the long coastline of 105 kms in length.
Goa has it all. Sun, Sand, irresistible Beaches, Splendid
Churches, flora and fauna and fun-filled festivals that
keeps a person on their feet all round the year. Before
being liberated from the Portuguese Colonisation by
the Indian Army in 1961, Goa was ruled by many dynasties,
such as, Rashtrakutas, Kadambas, Silaharas, Chalukyas
and more. It is often said that one of the reasons for
the popularity of Goa as a tourist destination is the
nature of the Goan people who welcome any stranger with
open arms.
At a time when beaches everywhere have become polluted
with dirt, the fresh blue water of Goa is a treat for
sore eyes. Some of the famous beaches of Goa are, Calangute,
Vagator, Anjuna, Colva and Palolem Beach. The tourist
season in Goa begins in September and foes on till late
march. It's a time when fun, frolic and entertainment
are at its peak in the town and the experience remains
embedded in a tourist's memory forever. Like all other
things, Goan Cuisine is also special and famous all
over the country. The staple food of the place is fish
and rice.
